Olivier (chief Scientist) and Ben (our guide and parasailer pilot) are preparing our equipment in a hangar at Akureyri, the airport in Iceland where most of our transiting will occur.Coincidently our first au pair (15 years ago), Sigrun, is from there. We will have a chance to briefly visit her hometown this week then.The scientific team will be on the ice pack starting tomorrow or Tuesday. I will join them later this week, after taking of some logistical matters in Reykjavik and Akureyri and transiting via ScoresbySund, at the mouth of the largest fjord in the world.
